ambassador to libya. criticizing america's u.s. commander in chief while u.s. interests are still under attack and americans were dying comes off as amateurish and unpresidential and could be political suicide for romney in the long run. it is times like these when an unguarded comment can leave a lasting impression. compare romney's response to how the 1980 republican candidates for president reacted to the iran hostage crisis under president carter. as the atlantic points out, when news broke that an effort to rescue the american hostages in tehran had failed, ronald reagan said "this is the time for us as a nation and a people to stand united." and george h.w. bush went even further saying he "unequivocally supported carter and that it was not a time to try to one-up politically." mitt romney's been around long enough, he ought to know better. the question is this, did mitt romney kill his chances of becoming president with his reaction to the violence in egypt and libya? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile. yo
